Federales Fulton: A Trending Mexican Beer Bar Experience in Chicago

My new saying is "When in Doubt Feds It Out". Ever since my gf first brung me it has been a vibe. The staff is super dope as well, if your a regular they will definitely remember you! Even though it's one of the pricier bars, they make up for it with big food portions & strong drinks! Also you absolutely have to try the Taquitos :) you will not regret it!

Cocktails and good vibes onlySunday brunch at Federales?! Sign me up! Started off with their delicious chips and salsa, followed by their breakfast burrito and Flan French toast , and of course we're not going to forget dessert especially when they have Churros ! The Paloma's are also $10 on Sundays and I couldn't ask for a better brunch with the bestie the ambiance is such a fun vibe, everyone who works there is so awesome and sweet and it's definitely a good time with good company! The service is quick and the food came out so fresh, I forgot what it feels like to actually WAIT for my food to cool down to eat when it comes to bar chilling! Definitely 100%%%%%% recommend!

Second time visitor and really glad to have returned on a Friday night. It was fun and lively and the bartenders were great! We kept getting drinks or shots bought for us and I whispered to the bar tender to make sure we have less alcohol in ours or half shots and she was incredibly accommodating even while super busy. This may be a common ask, but I'm often shaded by bartenders when I ask this. Drinks were great! The raspberry marg may be a new favorite for me!

Federales is such a fun bar to go to, especially if you're visiting Chicago for the first time. The ice shot is a must just for the experience at least! We stopped by with a group of 5 to grab a drink but we were seated immediately with no wait. Service was great even on such a full night. We got free chips and salsa which were actually really good and warm, and then I ended up also getting the chicken quesadilla. It was definitely decent quality and amount for the price.

Great atmosphere! Come on in and take a shot served in an ice shot then try to aim the bell ! Passed by for some blood orange margs!

My friends and I recently visited Federales Fulton for St. Patty's bar crawl. Since it was St. Patty's, it took us some time to get into the bar which was annoying, but once we were in, we all had a great time! We indulged in their renowned tequila shots served in ice glasses and had a blast attempting to ring the bell with them. The music, vibe and ambiance was great. The drinks are slightly on the expensive side, hence sticking to shots may make more sense. Along with shots, we also had a couple of Moscow Mule drinks and it was good. They have a huge space and it doesn't ever feel too crammed. I have not tried their food, as we usually hit this place for drinks, but will be open to try their food.

Definitely a great place to meet a friend for a drink! They have excellent chips & salsa that come even if you're just planning on staying for a drink. I've also been to Feds for happy hours for work which have never disappointed - they're excellent at accommodating large groups! I've also only ever experienced great and friendly service. Its typically a bit louder just because it's busy. But the music they play is always amazing - good mix! But never too loud where you can't hear the people in your group. Would highly recommend! They also have a fun ice shot you can do - I've personally never done it but according to friends it something you should do the first time you go!

What a great place to hang. Starting at 5pm, this place lights up for happy hour, which features $8 margaritas, my recommendation is the spicy mezcal marg. Conveniently located right next to the CTA, you can even see it go by through the ceiling. Beware of the nachos, even the small size is HUGE! If you need a place to hang and catch up, this place fits the bill to a T. Cheers!
